Peach Cobbler Waffle Wins Big As Hampton By Hilton Crowns First Guest Waffle Boss

Breakfast just got a little sweeter at Hampton by Hilton, which crowned its first-ever Guest Waffle Boss after a nationwide flavor competition.

Kaylee V. of East Lansing, Mich., has been named the first Guest Waffle Boss after her Peach Cobbler waffle won a nationwide search for Hampton by Hilton’s next waffle flavor.

The contest invited waffle lovers across the country to share their dream waffle creation and explain why they love the brands signature breakfast favorite. Kaylees winning entry — a warm blend of ripe peaches, cinnamon, whipped cream, and crisp oat topping inspired by a Southern classic—earned her a starring role in Hamptons breakfast lineup.

“At Hampton by Hilton, weve always believed our guests know best. For over 40 years, weve set the standard for friendly, authentic service and trusted stay experiences – including our complimentary hot breakfast and signature waffles, which are always a guest favorite,” said Shruti Gandhi Buckley, SVP and brand leader, Hampton by Hilton. “Hamptonality comes to life each morning through the genuine connections our team members make with travelers, and celebrating our guests ideas is yet another way we share moments of warmth and hospitality.”

As the new Guest Waffle Boss, Kaylee will work alongside Hamptons culinary team to bring her Peach Cobbler waffle to nearly 2,500 Hampton by Hilton hotels across the U.S. and Canada in 2026. Shell also receive 1 million Hilton Honors Points and a five-night stay at any Hampton property worldwide.

Kaylee, who enjoys running with her local club, creating monthly “scrapbook” videos, and baking for friends and family, says the inspiration came from her love of hand-picked peaches and family-style comfort food.

The Peach Cobbler waffle will join Hamptons lineup of fan-favorite flavors, following past hits like Red Velvet, Pumpkin Spice, Apple Cinnamon, and The (Beverly) Christmas Waffle from U.S. Waffle Boss Beverly Christmas. Next year, travelers checking in at Hampton by Hilton can start their mornings with a taste of Kaylees winning creation — one that celebrates sweetness, creativity, and a dash of Hamptonality.
